1 λέχριος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `slanting, crosswise' (S., E., X.), adv. λέχρις `id.' (Antim., A. R.; after ἄχρις, μέχρις, Schwyzer 620); also λικριφίς `cross-wise, sideways' (λ. ἀΐξας Ξ 463, τ451), in spite of λεκροί, λικροί (s.below) from *λεχρι-φίς with breathdissimilation and vowelassimilation (Schwyzer 256 with Brugmann IF 27, 265; acc. to 351 vowelweakening; for vowelassimilation also Petersen Lang. 14, 56); on the oxytonesis Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1914, 26f. (= Kl. Schr. 2, 1128f.); details in Bechtel Lex. s.v.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The basis of λέχριος may have been a ρ(ο)-stem *λεχρ(ο)- of unknown meaning; adducing λεκροί beside λικροί οἱ ὄζοι τῶν ἐλαφείων κεράτων, with further λί(γ)ξ πλάγιος H., and of λοξός `slanting' requires an orig. *λεκ-σ-ρ- (cf. Schwyzer 327); further s. λοξός. Cf. also on λεκάνη, λέκος. The forms λεκροί \/ λικροί and also λι(γ)ξ seem to point to Pre-Greek forms, to which we should add λικριφίς. Assuming IE forms with and without - σ- side by side is much more difficult than assumeing κ\/χ (and ε\/ι and prenasalisation) for Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,112Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λέχριος
